Gay Couple on a Plane A gay couple (Jeremiah and Timothy) is traveling on a plane. "What if we had sex?" asks Jeremiah. "Are you crazy? Here, on the plane? It would be awkward, everyone would watch us doing it..." "Nobody is even paying attention to anything. Look!" Jeremiah stands up and asks loudly: "Could I have a napkin, please?" Nobody gives a damn. Everyone is sleeping, reading, looking out the window, etc. Flight attendants pretend to not hear them, as they also don't give a damn. "They really wouldn't care then, would they?" says Timothy. So Jeremiah and Timothy have wild sex on the plane. Later, when the plane arrives to the airport and the people are leaving, the stewardess sees an old man who threw up all over his shirt, even his pants are soaking in the filth. "Sir, you should've asked for a bag!" "I didn't dare" whispers the old man. "A few rows ahead I saw a man asking for a napkin and he got fucked in the ass..."

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded: "Rome? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome. So how are you getting there?” "We're taking Continental” was the reply. "We got a great rate!” “Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly and they're always late. So where are you staying in Rome?” "We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome's Tiber River called Teste.” "Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks it's gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump.” "We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope.” "That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant. Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it.” A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome. "It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot.. And the Teste hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!” "Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope.” "Actually, we were quite lucky because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me. Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me.” "Oh, really! What'd he say?” He said: "Who fucked up your hair?

Ryanair reclaiming salary increases from workers after losing a court battle with a Union Source: BBC News “Ryanair has ordered some flight attendants in Spain to repay salary increases of up to €3,000 (£2,525) following a legal dispute with their union. A pay rise had been agreed with the Spanish union, CCOO, and it applied to all flight attendants regardless of what union they belonged to. But another Spanish union - Union Sindical Obrera - won a court case in March to nullify the deal. The Irish airline has now written to Union Sindical Obrera to say it will be informing its members how much they owe. Union Sindical Obrera has hit back at Ryanair's decision to claw back five month's worth of pay rises, but the firm said: "USO are complaining about pay cuts that result from their court case." It added: "Ryanair is complying with the court case that Union Sindical Obrera took to cut pay while it is under appeal."” Pretty crazy case of malicious compliance. Union shot its own members in the foot.

Mother & Daughter Are on a Plane... Mother & daughter are on a plane. Daughter asks mother, "Mommy, if big dogs have baby dogs & big cats have baby cats, why don't big planes have baby planes?" The mother stumbled and didn't have an answer for that one so she desperately looks around and replies, "I don't know sweetie, why don't you go ask that nice flight attendant, I'm sure she'll have an answer." So the little girl goes up the the flight attendant and asks, "If big dogs have baby dogs & big cats have baby cats, then why don't big planes have baby planes?" Immediately the flight attendant is suspicious, "Did your mother tell you to come over here and ask me that?"... "Yep", answers the little girl. So the flight attendant thinks on it for a few seconds then kneels down to the daughters level. "You go over there and you tell your mother it's because Southwest Airlines always pulls out on time." :)

The aircraft takes off and a pretty flight attendant walks down the aisle past the man and his seat Mate. "Hey, bitch," says the parrot, "bring me a whiskey and soda, and make it snappy!" The FA looks annoyed, but walks on. A minute later, she walks back up the aisle, and the parrot Pipes up again, "Goddammit, you lazy whore, where's my whiskey? Hurry it up!" Visibly flustered, the FA hurries up the aisle and returns quickly with the parrot's drink. Impressed with the parrot's technique, the man decides to get some quick service for himself. "Hey, slut," says the man, "get me a dry martini. And don't drag your sorry ass, I want it right Now!" The FA turns red with anger and runs to the front of the plane. In a moment she returns with the First Officer and two burly male flight attendants. The crewmen seize the passenger and the parrot, jerk open the emergency door and hurl them both out of the airplane at 20,000 feet. As the two hurtle out the door, the parrot says to the man, "Ya know, for someone who can't fly, you got a lotta balls."

The woman says, "Excuse me, sir, but that is disgusting and rude — and if you do it again I am going to call the flight attendant and have you removed from this plane." He says, "I am so sorry, but I have this very rare, embarrassing physical handicap that causes me to have an orgasm every time I sneeze."

Walking through the cabin, a flight attendant noticed a man drenched in sweat, trembling, and biting his nails. "Perhaps I could bring you a glass of whiskey? It might help you feel better", the flight attendant suggested. After an obvious internal struggle, the man whispered: "Alright." Checking on the same passenger again, the flight attendant found him in an even more pitiful state. "A second glass?", she asked. The man said nothing, and just nodded his head. When the flight attendant returned to the passenger for a third time, he was sobbing uncontrollably. "I’ve never seen anyone so afraid of flying", the flight attendant remarked, to which the passenger replied: "I’m not afraid of flying at all, I’m trying to quit drinking!"

An airline joke my 83 YO dad sent me . Slightly NSFW Dear Airlines: Dump the male flight Attendants. No one wanted them in the first place. Replace all the female flight attendants with YOUNG good-looking strippers! What the hell!! They don't even serve food anymore, so what's the loss? The strippers would at least triple the alcohol sales and get a "party atmosphere" going in the cabin. And, of course, every businessman in this country would start flying again, hoping to see naked women. Because of the tips, female flight attendants wouldn't need a salary, thus saving money while the flight attendants jobs would be better paying than ever before. Muslims would be afraid to get on the planes for fear of seeing naked women. Hijackings would come to a screeching halt, and the airline industry would see record revenues. We would not have any need for Air Marshalls, the TSA, etc. This would make flying easier and safer again and would save even more money. This is definitely a win -- win situation if we handle it right -- a golden opportunity to turn a liability into an asset. Why didn't Bush or Obama think of this? Why do I still have to do everything myself? Sincerely, Donald Trump

First Class Blonde A plane is on its way to Detroit when a blonde woman in economy class gets up and moves into an open seat in the first class section. The flight attendant watches her do this, and politely informs the woman that she must sit in economy class because that's the type of ticket she paid for. The blonde replies, "I'm blonde, I'm beautiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here." After repeated attempts and no success at convincing the woman to move, the flight attendant goes into the cockpit and informs the pilot and co-piolet that there's a blonde bimbo sitting in first class who refuses to go back to her proper seat. The co-pilot goes back to the woman and explains why she needs to move, but once again the woman replies by saying, "I'm blonde, I'm beatiful, I'm going to Detroit and I'm staying right here." The co-pilot returns to the cockpit and suggests that perhaps they should have the arrival gate call the police and have the woman arrested when they land. The pilot says, "You say she's blonde? I'll handle this. I'm married to a blonde. I speak blonde." He goes back to the woman and whispers quietly in her ear, and she says, "Oh, I'm sorry," then quickly moves back to her seat in economy class. The flight attendant and co-pilot are amazed and ask him what he said to get her to move back to economy without causing any fuss. "I told her first class isn't going to Detroit."

Fright flight! After waiting for what seemed like an eternity, the flight attendant announces over the intercom that, "We're just waiting for the pilots." The passengers look out the windows, and see two men, dressed in pilot's uniforms, walking towards the plane. Both men are using guide dogs and appear to be blind. There are murmurs among the passengers, and some believe it is a joke. The men board the plane and go into the cockpit. More concerned murmurs and uneasy chuckles from the passengers. The plane taxis normally to the runway and begins its takeoff. As passengers look out the window, they realize they are nearing the end of the runway!! The entire passenger cabin begins screaming, but the plane lifts off, just before the end of the runway.

I live in this biker's mustache, and if holding on while he's riding faster than everyone else, it's the bar brawls that'll nearly do you in. This is the first time I've gotten a chance to think about it and I need to move." The other gnat pats him on the back and exclaims, "Well you're in luck, because I know how you can upgrade big time. Do you see that airport over there? Go over there and slip underneath one of the flight attendant's dresses and nestle in their pubic hair. It's warm, it's safe, if you aren't itchy she won't get rid of you, *and* you still get to see the world." Enlightened, the beat up gnat thanks him and flies straight over to the airport. One year later, the gnat goes on vacation to the same spot and sees the same gnat from before, beat up as like he was the first time. He flies over and asks him what happened. "Well," the beat up gnat starts, "I did just as you said, and by golly you were right. For the longest time I felt like I truly had a good home.

Airplane Pilot One time I was on an airplane, and during the flight the pilot's voice came on through the plane's PA system. The pilot sounded like a friendly man, and he said, "Good afternoon everybody, this is your captain speaking.

The pilot said, to his co-pilot, "You know what I could really use right now? A blowjob and a cup of coffee." The cabin grew restless, some people in shock, some people laughing to themselves. One of the flight attendants stood up from the back of the plane and ran up the aisle towards the cockpit.

Heard this on my last flight with Southwest from the captain: It was an early flight, 3am to be exact. There were only a handful of passengers. A rather introverted man sat in the very back away from everyone else on board. While sitting there, early in the flight, the man heard someone whisper, "you are quite the handsome fellow". The man was puzzled and was looking all around to find who said it. No one was near him. A few minutes later, he heard the same voice whisper again, " you are so well dressed". Again the man looked around; no one there. He was beginning to feel uncomfortable. Once more, the voice returned. " do you work out, because you look like you work out." The man, at this point a little freaked out, waived down an attendant who had started beverage orders up front. The attendant came to the man and the man told him what was going on. When he asked "So where the hell is this voice coming from?!" The flight attendant smiled and said "Oh! Those are our complimentary peanuts!".
